So, ya think instruction books would help, eh?

Here’s your chance to find out.

YOU DECIDE WHAT THESE ARE WORTH AFTER YOU HAVE THEM IN HAND, BUT I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY

Once you have discovered exactly what you’ve won, you make whatever donation you feel is appropriate to a charity near you. I’m partial to dog rescue organizations, mental health organizations, or Muscular Dystrophy, but it’s your call.

Here’s the deal:

1 — IMPORTANT: I may not check here immediately, so DON'T RESPOND HERE. I’ll send the lot to the first request I get at

ssjk1@hotmail.com

Please include the address you’d like them shipped to

2 — I'll send you this complete set of mandolin instruction books. Yep, you have to take them all - if you already have one, pass it along to somebody.

3 —you let me know who you donated to. I don’t need to know how much.

4 — I'd appreciate being reimbursed for shipping, which will be via whatever is a reasonable cost. I prefer PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or other easy means. A check as a last resort - I’ll trust you.

These are of varying ages. All are complete and usable. A few of the older ones are a bit worn looking. Others look brand new. Anything that came with a CD has it, with the exception of the Rubner-Peteresen book. No idea where that one went, although if you are desperate I guess I could export the files to a CD if I had to.
